Cafe Du Monde is a famous coffee shop in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It was opened in 1862 and is famous for it's chicory-blend coffee and Beignets. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for Christmas Day (and the occasional hurricane). Luckily, this famous cafe suffered only minor damage during Hurricane Katrina.I've visited Cafe Du Monde twice on visits to New Orleans. It has a charming atmosphere and the Beignets are the most delectable pastry you will ever taste. I do have to admit, though, that I personally find the famous chicory coffee 'undrinkable'. I do not like the taste of chicory and I dislike strong coffee. But if you love chicory coffee or Vietnamese-style iced coffee, you will love the Cafe Du Monde coffee, particularly their Cafe au lait.

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, evaporated milk, and blend well. Mix in 4 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Add the shortening, and then the remaining 3 cups of flour. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.

There are also box mixes of Beignets available if you do not care to go to the (delicious) trouble of starting from scratch. The word Beignet, of course, means donut.

Visit Cafe Du Monde

The original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand is located at 800 Decatur Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. In 1985 a second cafe was opened and today there are 8 Cafe Du Monde locations in the New Orleans Metropolitan area. The Cafe Du Monde coffee stand is a 'must-see' and very tasty attraction for any New Orleans Visit. The literal translation of Cafe Du Monde means “Coffee of the World”.
